Walk and talk

Selfie vlog outdoors while walking: hands-free control, mirrored preview, a camera that keeps you in frame.

Follow the screens in order. Each card shows the gesture to reach the screen, then the settings to set.

  1. 1Settings

    How to get there: Swipe down > Settings

      Set to: On

      Why: Footage matches the mirrored preview.

    • Gesture Control

      Set to: On

      Why: V gesture starts/stops recording; palm toggles ActiveTrack. Stay within the effective range for the lens.

    • Custom Button

      Set to: Keep default (press once: tilt/zoom toggle)

      Why: Default mapping already covers recentring and direction lock.
